Today, I ran my very first 5K! I have been training for months and used the couch to 5k program. So super excited to have accomplished this major goal on my bucket list! My main goal was to run the whole thing without walking any. I did that and more! I finished in 36.35 minutes with a pace of 11.44 min/mile. I couldn't believe it when I crossed the finish line. It helped so much having a friend to run the race with me....thank you Misti Hartmeyer!!! It made a huge difference as we motivated and cheered each other on through the race! The weather was cold with temps in the upper 40s, the gravel trail was not easy, and the wind was working against us at times! But...we did it! There were over 300 racers that showed up to participate today. We finished number 98 and 99...the top 1/3 of all the racers! We finished number 8 and 9 in our age division! I think we did such a good job especially for our first race and the fact neither of us were runners up until a couple of months ago! We had also both been battling sickies this week...so GO US!!!
Us crossing the finish line...my boys were all bundled up on the sidelines cheering their mommy on!
Our official time...YAY!
you guys rock. good job!
